The Negro Joe Dean Pays the Penalty His Crime With His Life. Atlanta Journal, March 1st. Faiebuen, Ga., Marcb 1. Joe Dean, the negro who murdered Mr. A. B. Leigh, was hanged here to day at 11:55 o'clock. By order of the court the hang ing was to be held iu private, but the excited people lore uowu tuts enclosaie bout the gallows ana the execution was made public. Further than this, it was greatly bungled. Dean had to be hung twice before he was pronouueed dead. The first time the rope broke and he fell to the ground unconscious but still ahve. He was cairied like a dead mau npon the gallows again when he was hung the second time. Thi fall did not break his neck aud his struggling was frightful. tin wns ru-onounced dead iu about fourteen minutes. THE ENCLOSURE DISAPPEAES. At 11:30 o'clock he was taktn out of the jail and carried to the gallows. A large number of the people around the scaffold stated that STORY OF THE CRIME. Twelve miles from Fairburn there is an old country home where dwelt Mr. A. B. Leigh and bis wife aud daughter. Mr. Leigh was a prosperous planter aud a mau of kindly heart. He and his family lived happily in their rural home aud were greatly esteemed by all who knew them. On the night of December 1st, 1894, Joe Deau, one of the negroes hired on the farm came to 4 he house about 11 o'clock and told Mr. Leigh that another hand was Sick and wanted Mr. Leigh to come to his cabin. Mr. Leigh started out with a bottle of medi cine started out iuto the night to be murdered while on an errand of mercy ! A little ways from the house the negro and Mr. Leigh entered a place in the road which led through a dark body o( woods. With a rock which he held, concealed, the murderer struck Mr. Leigh iu the head, felling hiiu to the earth. Then, nccordiug to the story told by Dean himself, he beat the help less old man to death with rocks and stamped him with his heavy shoes. Leaving his victim dead on the roadside, Dean went deliberately back to the house for the purpose of robbery, so he stated, lie told Mrs. Leigh that her husband had sent for her. The uegro had re turned so qnickly that Mrs. Seigh and her daughter suspected some-, thing was wrong. - Their fears were realized when they saw a pistol iu the negro's hand. Miss Leigh seized a hofgun and or dered the negro to leave. Ue did not do so and she fired. Dean lied. A few days later he was captured with little trouble aud was brought to Atlauta, it be ing thought he would be lynched If taken to Fairburn. The murderer as soon as caught tirade a full confession. He was taken to Fairburn on February 7th aud arraigned for trial. There was no defense. Deau confessed in open court and said he had done wrong and wanted to die. Ue was sentenced to hang on March 1st. During the whole time he was iu jail Dean quie;ly await d his fate and appeared to be willing to give his life to pay the penalty of his ciime. He has paid the penal ty and the last act of a most terri ble tragedy has been played. . the and respect lor me.

I know thai your dear mother was uneasy about me, and that she sometimes Cautioned me not to duft away from the old landmarks, and eveu advised me not to join the Farm f5r?4 Alliance, lest 1 might get into eotvpany that would prejudice me Sgalnst life-long principles aud fiiietids, but the times being hard, ,1 thought something ought to 'be done to better the financial condi fio4-ef the country; and, hearing hai , the Farmer's Alliance was on partiz in, and only intended to tight trusts and monoKlies, I con cluded to join, notwithstanding riy wire's protest against tux. so Uoiiig. . 1 hare withed a thousand imes that I had listened to her Udrjqe. And I want to say rigbt tiere, seeing how things have never was the friend of the poorer classes. So, my daughter, I joined the Alliance to fight the Republi can party, and I want you to tell your mother that I did. When I joined we said that we would never quit the tight bo long as there wan a Republican party, with its gold standard, high tariff and combites to measure lances with ours. It was to be a fight to the death or to victory, on oar part, and we were sure of victory. But, alas for the irony of fate. Our fine army, which we organ ized and marched into the field, with Dying banners, and beating drums, and glistening bayonets, is no more. Y?e have lowered oar banners, thrown down oar arais, surren dered oar principles every prin ciple for which we once contended, and unconditionally surrendered to the party which brought opou the country all the evils of which we ver com plained. And we, wha, a few years ago, were so fall of hope and 'enthusiasm so full of man hood aud patriotic pride are pris oners in the cauifi of our old enemy, working side by side witb negroes, hewers or woodland draw ers of water for our masters. I never thought that I, who loved Zeb Vance as a father, would, in so short a time after bis death, be doing the ditry work of that party which bo,b feared and hated "Oid Zen," because he had the boldness to hit a mean thing, and the manhood to champion the cause of the poor, against the op pressions of tbat which brought inin and poverty upon the conn try. Bar. such is the tact, my daugh ter. The Farmer's Alliance which made such bold demands, and the People's party which promised to champiou those demaud, are prisoners of war, being at- the metcy of our captors the Republi cans and are kept within prison bounds, by the five big Seutinels who sit on the watch-tower to oversee us. We are not allowed any privileges, tint must do as we are cominauded. That accounts tyr my not coming home lastSat nrday night. (Tell your mother so.) Oar bondage is complete. Not one of ns can say his soul is his own. We have to eat the bard tack that is thrown to us by oar Masters and vote as we are told to do. Lgyptian bondage was a paradise composed to ours.

The plot was discovered and Washington and bis brave men saved from the horrors tbat would have resulted, if treason had been successful. Those who had command of our brave army of reformers were more successful than was Benedict Ar nold. They consummated the trade sold us out, aud tnrned us over, horse, foot and dragoon, to the enemy. The price paid is one term of six years in the United Slates Senate; and some bits And crumbs to a few of the howlers to make them keep quiet nntil the captors can get such laws enacted as will make our bondage per petual. We, the rank and file, get noth ing to our share; and daily oar uew masters, here iu the Legis lature, are becomiug more and more tyraunical and domineering towards us, and insolent in their demands. A few mouths ago they called us brothers, and said we were a brotherhood of reformers. Now, they do not hesitate to sneer at us, and tell us tlat we Poplistsare uolvody; that our party is "busted" iu the uation; and, inasmuch as we have forfeited the confidence aud esteem of our old party aaso- teuon, lap or miter was determined, each fact was faithfully recorded on the pattern, and should the latter becomo broken or mislaid, all were at sea. "I have osed that pattern forty years," was a remark made by an old body maker in Newark, N. J., in the year 1857. Said pattern was of cherry, inch thick, sod so written over in ink that it reminded one of the hiero glyphics of an Egyptian obelUk. The pattern had done its work for a coach corner pillar, a short pillar for a coachee, a family rock a way, brett, and a variety' or vehicles of equally dissimilar character, and it was but one' of the many tbst had been thus utilized. In those days, when there was no record, the first thing to be dose was to mortise the one bottom side for the standing pillars, then mortise the top rail and tenon the pillars, after which these parts were pot together and the outside pf the bottom side swept off to suit the sweep of the top rail and the torn onder of the door pillars. This done, the corner pillars were fitted on and swept off, and so on until the body was completed ; it was cut and try," and yet when the body was completed it was a model of good workmanship as good so far as mechanical execution was concerned as the best of to-day. The manner of working by the body maker was duplicated in every other line. The wheel maker had his hub turned, but he laid off, bored and made the morfaes, hewed out, squared and rounded his spokes, sawed and bored his fellies, did all other work by hand, but who makes a better wheel to day 1 When bent timber came into use, the steam box and former constituted so important part of the shop fittings, and when the bending was doue, all hands turned to and assisted by advice, if not otherwise. Twenty-four percent, perfect was a large average, and fifteen per cent, breakage, beyond repair, was a satisfactory result. The chopping block and the broad ax were as moch a part of the fittiugs as was the plane, and one to every two benches was a neces sity. All the modern appliances in the line of machinery were ab sent.
